38. Impact of Certain Items
Our discussion of our results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, that we believe provide important
perspective with respect to underlying business trends. Other than free cash flow and EBITDA, any non-GAAP financial measures will be denoted as adjusted
measures to remove the impact of: (1) restructuring and transformational project costs consisting of: (a) restructuring charges, (b) expenses associated
with our various transformation initiatives and (c) facility closure and severance charges; (2) acquisition-related costs consisting of: (a) intangible
amortization expense and (b) acquisition costs and due diligence costs related to our acquisitions; and (3) the reduction of bad debt expense previously
recognized in fiscal 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the collectability of our pre-pandemic trade receivable balances. Our results for
fiscal 2023 were also impacted by adjustments to a product return allowance related to COVID-related personal protection equipment inventory and a
pension settlement charge that resulted from the purchase of a nonparticipating single premium group annuity contract that transferred defined benefit plan
obligations to an insurer. Our results for fiscal 2022 were also impacted by debt extinguishment costs and an increase in reserves for uncertain tax
positions.
The results of our foreign operations can be impacted due to changes in exchange rates applicable in converting local currencies to U.S. dollars. We
measure our total Sysco and our International Foodservice Operations results on a constant currency basis. Constant currency operating results are
calculated by translating current-period local currency operating results with the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the
comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not
changed from the comparable prior-year period.
Management believes that adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove these Certain
Items and presenting its International Foodservice Operations results on a constant currency basis, provides an important perspective with respect to our
underlying business trends and results and provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that (1) is indicative of the
performance of the company’s underlying operations and (2) facilitates comparisons on a year-over-year basis.
Sysco has a history of growth through acquisitions and excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures the impact of acquisition-related intangible
amortization, acquisition costs and due-diligence costs for those acquisitions. We believe this approach significantly enhances the comparability of Sysco’s
results for fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of sales, operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to adjusted results for
these measures for the periods presented. Individual components of diluted earnings per share may not add up to the total presented due to rounding.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net earnings divided by diluted shares outstanding.

the Certain Item was incurred.

41. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation
and Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) plus (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense and benefit, (iii) depreciation and (iv)
amortization. The net earnings (loss) component of our EBITDA calculation is impacted by Certain Items that we do not consider representative of
our underlying performance. As a result, in the non-GAAP reconciliations below for each period presented, adjusted EBITDA is computed as EBITDA
plus the impact of Certain Items, excluding certain items related to interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Sysco's
management considers growth in this metric to be a measure of overall financial performance that provides useful information to management and
investors about the profitability of the business, as it facilitates comparison of performance on a consistent basis from period to period by providing a
measurement of recurring factors and trends affecting our business. Additionally, it is a commonly used component metric used to inform on capital
structure decisions. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure in assessing the company’s
financial performance for the periods presented. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented
in accordance with GAAP. In the tables that follow, adjusted EBITDA for each period presented is reconciled to net earnings.

43. Projected Adjusted EPS Guidance
Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure; however, we cannot predict with certainty certain items that would be
included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the relevant future periods. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot provide a quantitative
reconciliation of projected adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort. However, we expect to
calculate adjusted earnings per share for future periods in the same manner as the reconciliations provided for the historical periods herein.
